It's nearly impossible (for '90s kids, at least) to hear the words "in West Philadelphia..." and not rap the full Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song as a result. Not even Will Smith himself can resist those opening chords, as he proved during a guest appearance on Ellen yesterday. The only thing that could have made his impromptu performance more amazing is a spinning gold throne, but this will more than do. Warning: Do not watch unless you want the theme song stuck in your head for the unforeseeable future. If Will Smith considers that the test of a true fan, I would have passed with flying colors. He also rapped another one of his hits with DJ Jazzy Jeff, "Summertime." I think it's time to start a campaign for the Fresh Prince to put out another album—who's with me? read more

Jaden and Willow Smith, son and daughter of the first and only prince of Bel-Air, Will Smith, just gave an interview to The New York Times that was as fascinating as it was puzzling. Along with discussing how they entertain themselves (Willow said she can't find books she likes, so she writes her own to read), they also dive into the awareness babies feel in the womb and the fact that time doesn't really exist. It's immensely trippy, guys. A photo posted by @gweelos on Oct 10, 2014 at 7:49pm PDT So, of fashion, Jaden reveals he might be a budding designer. "Willow just dropped a song; let me quote the lyrics. 'I do not care what people say.' We both don't really care. I like to wear things that I make, but I throw it on as though I was throwing on anything. It looks cool, sometimes." To wit, don't forget that he wore a white Batman suit to Kim Kardashian's wedding this summer. Willow touches on the fact that what she wears in her personal private life doesn't align with what she wears for work obligations and events. "I like to go to places with my high-fashion things read more

The Fourth of July is here, which means the usual is going down: barbecues, fireworks, and outdoor concerts. But, for me, what really makes July Fourth rule is going to a theater with my family and watching an action movie. Spider-Man 2, Transformers, Men in Black--you name it, I've seen 'em all on America's birthday. But more than special effects and catchphrases, action movies have given us tips on how to survive the Fourth--and every other holiday typically spent with family. read more

Thanks to the box-office hits like last summer's The Avengers and the latest new buzz-worthy movie hitting theaters this summer--Man of Steel, on June 14--superheroes have never been hotter. For these crime-fighting guys, with great power comes great abs of steel. read more

Like secrets, laundry (seriously, I will never be one of those people who sends her dirty clothes out to be cleaned by some random dudes) and green-bean casserole, Hollywood, in a lot of ways, is best kept in the family. Going as far back as the Barrymore clan, we see this familiar trend: film, TV, and music becoming a family business. You can't throw a rock without hitting a pair of siblings (John and Joan Cusack) or other types of familial relationships (director Francis Ford Coppola is Nic Cage's uncle). But, in my opinion, the most popular combination seems to be father-son duos. This old standard has been made new again with mega-famous Will and son Jaden Smith, who currently costar in the summer popcorn flick After Earth, which is opening worldwide today. With those two in mind, let's take a look of some more famous father-son duos: Alan and Robin Thicke Y'all, I love me some Robin Thicke. He is so good-looking, a great singer, and a good actor. His comedic turn in Kevin Hart's The Real Husbands of Hollywood was a welcome surprise. Who knew he was funny? All right, maybe I should've had a clue considering his read more

Ah, Memorial Day weekend. The perfect time for some celebrities to sneak big news into the press, knowing everyone's away from their desks—though I don't see any backdoor bombshells yet—and other celebrities to get the heck out of town. Thus, our five favorite weekend shots of celebs-in-repose, away from work and the L.A. grind (well, Andrew Garfield's still working, but he makes everything look so lovely we can barely tell): Bradley Cooper and Michael Fassbender (see him back there?) dined together in London, and I assume every female patron in the place fainted immediately upon seeing them together. Also in Londontown: Will and Jaden Smith got the After Earth promo blitz, a.k.a. the Will and Mini-Will Worldwide Tour, under way. Andrew Garfield continues to kill us with cuteness (you saw him play pickup with the little kids, right?) by bonding with his on-screen younger version. Future best dad ever. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is just living here, not modeling. That's crazy to me. And last but not least: Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis looking great out of the surf. Let's all close our eyes and pretend this is what we look like as we walk out of the ocean. How's your holiday read more

There have long been rumors about whether or not Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith have an open relationship, and I know the truth! The truth is...that's their business, folks. We may never know, and that's fine. However, Jada did share her bottom line when it comes to her relationship with her husband and what she tells him he can and can't do, and it's totally fascinating: She says, "I've always told Will: You can do whatever you want as long as you can look yourself in the mirror and be OK." While it may sound crazy to let your partner do whatever they want (at least when it comes to, you know, other people) without consequence, her reasoning is sound. "Because at the end of the day, Will is his own man. I'm here as his partner, but he is his own man," she said. "He has to decide who he wants to be, and that's not for me to do for him. Or vice versa." So interesting, right? I can't decide if it's crazy or genius. On the one hand, the idea that each person has to make their own decisions is just plain truth. You can't force read more

You know, I left Independence Day part two off the list of sequels we didn't want to see because, well, I adore Independence Day and I'll do anything for another fix. But then, this morning, I read about some total and utter nonsense: The director, Roland Emmerich, says that he doesn't want Will Smith back for the sequel. That he thinks Will is "too big" for the sequel. What? Roland, this is pure crazy talk. This is no time for less Will Smith in our lives. If anything, we need more Will Smith and his classic "Aw, HELL no"s. The ones he says with his mouth AND the ones he says with his face. You know who could use a good "aw, HELL no" right now (besides Roland, of course)? Anne Hathaway haters. GET OVER IT. Amanda Bynes. There are earrings in your cheeks, honey. Come on home and let's talk about it. Justin Bieber. Will could take the shirt that's on Amanda Bynes' head and put it on Justin's torso. Tommy Lee Jones. Because he's been a little grumpy of late, and Will is usually great at loosening up his fellow man in black. The LaSalle Explorers. March Madness's read more

In all the hubbub surrounding Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's divorce, there's been no solid advice for Katie when she decides it's time to move on with a new guy. I asked another A-list celeb's ex-wife for her tips. Sheree Fletcher, who stars on VH1's Hollywood Exes, was married to Will Smith--yes, that one--from 1992 to 1995. She is now married to football-player-turned-pastor Terrell Fletcher and gave us some good advice for how one might go about introducing her former and current flames in the most innocuous way possible--especially if kids are involved (Will and Sheree have an 18-year-old son, Trey, together). Katie, are you listening? Here's what Sheree had to say: read more

I don't know if it's the weather heating up or someone's slipped something into the world's supply of sparkling water (good thing us average people drink tap)--but celebs are being nuts lately. What's with all the bad behavior? read more

You might say that Christina Milian has the coolest job in the world right now as Social Media Correspondent on NBC's, The Voice. Not only is she right in the thick of things on the hot singing competition, but she also gets to work with Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green, and Carson Daly. And she's absolutely stunning and so much of a sweetheart that she gave us a sneak peek into her life--including exclusive photos from the set of The Voice. Check it out! read more

So, like you guys, we are obsessed with Pinterest here at Obsessed! And after I put together my ode to the ‘80s post last week, I started browsing on Pinterest and found all these fun reminders of the ‘90s--things I forgot I loved so much. I could write 200 posts about the things from the ‘90s that I love, hate and miss terribly but somehow I narrowed it down based on my top five Pinterest finds! read more

I grew up in a house full of sports fanatics. College football on Saturdays and the NFL on Sundays consumed my family’s weekend plans and topics of conversation...needless to say, I dreaded football season. But, I unwillingly absorbed some knowledge of what was going on in the NFL—which translates to I always managed to make the season bearable by finding a cute player to crush on (hello, Tom Brady). And that still holds true today as I find myself drawn to Denver Bronco's quarterback Tim Tebow! read more

'Tis the season...for ugly-sweater holiday parties. And it got us thinking: Sometimes even the most lovable celebrities (and characters) have made bad knitwear choices. From fugly Fair Isle crewnecks to kitschy Christmas pullovers, check out our collection of the ugliest sweaters to ever hit Hollywood. read more

Congrats to Rainey Qualley, daughter of Andie MacDowell--Miss Golden Globe 2012! In case you’re not familiar, each year the Hollywood Foreign Press chooses the daughter (and sometimes son) of an accomplished actor/actress to hand the statuettes to the winners on stage at the Golden Globe Awards. It’s a big honor and tradition that’s been going on since the ‘60s. Past Miss Golden Globes have included Laura Dern, Melanie Griffin, Joely Fisher, Freddie Prinze, Jr. (guess that would make him Mr. Golden Globe) and Rumer Willis. read more
